Hold onto your butts, people, because Call of Duty: Ghosts has been compromised. Just a day before release, and reports of the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions being hacked are popping up on gaming sites and social media. Needless to say, a lot of people are angry.

On YouTube, user "MinnesotaBurns" posted a video of his experience playing with a group of hackers on Xbox LIVE. They were more than happy to share their experience and the whole process of modding the game.

Several screenshots have also appeared, originally on this German Call of Duty site. One of them (above) shows enemy targets being tagged with a yellow/orange box, allowing the player to see enemies through walls. Another image shows a player with 35 (or more) active Perks. Other hacks allow increased speed, unlimited ammo, infinite Killstreaks, and boosted XP.

Many Call of Duty fans are expressing their discontent on Twitter and other sites, and asking Infinity Ward for a patch to fix the hacking problem. For anyone who's still flipping out right now, bear in mind this isn't the first issue Call of Duty has had with pre-release hacking. In 2011, Modern Warfare 3 was also hacked pre-launch, while Black Ops also had a problem with hackers before release. Both games were patched.

It says something about your game when is hacked before it's even released...

In my opinion, it says even more about your fan base... I don't have anything against Infinity Ward or Call of Duty, but the majority of people who play it are just so unspeakably dumb.

OMFGB I TAKE OFFENSE TO DAT JOU STUPID *bleep*ING NOOB!!!1 COD IS TH3 D3ST GAME EVER MADE MAN!!!!!... nonono i kid though i am willing to bet cold hard cash that there is legit stupid *bleep*s out there

i may not be too friendly with cod series all the time due to my negative experiences as a former cod regular but i'm not going to rub it in at a time like this. i feel bad for all those who looked forward to buy & play the game at it's release, i really do. people saved money and waited a very long time to play a game that's going to be compromised and full with cheaters on day one that must give a shit feeling from here to tokio no sense in saying otherwise.
